Effs Beaten in 10th After Downing Sox : Terps Score in Base Ball, Lacrosse DROP 2-3 VERDICT AFTER A2 WIN Hadley’s Second Relief Effort| Foiled at Fag End of Nightcap. Judge Is Resting Well, Spencer O. K. OSTON, Mass., May 2.—The two- man Washington casualty list, resulting from the Boston en- gagement, was in good shape to- night, with Joe Judge resting com- fortably in his room at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, after his emergency operation for appendieitis, and Catcher Roy Spencer again with his mates and showing little effect from yesterday's crack on his knee cap. OSTON, Mass., May 2 (Spe-! cial). —The Red Sox took the series with the Na-| tionals by winning the second game of today's double- header, 3-2 in 10 innings just| when it seemed that the visitors were destined to take both ends of the double bill. | The Nationals won the first game,| 6-2, and were leading in the second,| 2-1, with two men out and nobody on ~ base in the hinth inning, when the fire- | works started. | Bump Hadley, who had finished the | first game, after Carl Fischer was/ shelled off the mound under & barrage | of three successive hits in the ninth | inning was doing a brilliant plece of relief work in the second game. He started the seventh inning -in place of Firpo Marberry, who had allowed only two hits up to this time. Charley Berry batted for Bobby Reeves in the Red Sox ninth, with two out, and singled to right field. ! Ruel in Brilliant Role. The old Washington favorite, Muddy Ruel, then stepped to the plate with vengeance written on his face, Hadley pitched two balls and then a called strike. Ruel caught the next one and sent it on a line between Harry Rice and Sam West. Rabbit Warstler, running for Berry, streaked around the bases and ! while Ruel pulled up at second. It mat | ‘ered little that Wiley Moore struck out | for the Sox were back in a game that, had seemed headed for Washington. Heine Manush opened the tenth for | the Nationals by beating out a bunt| for the second time in the afternoon. When Cronin and West failed to ad- vance him, he tried to steal second but | a perfect throw from Ruel cut him | down. Hal Rhyne opened the Red Sox tenth with a single to center. Bill sweeney sacrificed, although it seemed that Ossie Bleuge iright have eliminated Rhyne had he made the play to sec- ond base. Scarritt flled out and the ever dangerous Webb was purposely vrassed. Tom Oliver, who failed to get| 2 hit in all his previous trips to the plate, resented this insult to his bat- tog prowess and rose in the send Rhyne home with the run on a single to centerfield. Ex-Senators Are Prominent. Former Senators figured prominently in both games, as it was Benson Brill- heart, the old Washington southpaw, who was the victim of the three-run splurge in the ninth inning of the first game, that cinched the verdict for the visitors. Danny MacFayden, the be- spectacled Red Sox pitcher and Carl Fischer, the brilliant young Senator southpaw, engaged in a thrilling pitch- ers' battle for the first seven innings. K Joe Cronin was the particular thorn in ; erii the side of the Red Sox in this game. He made four hits, two of which were doubles, accounting for the two-run margin which Washington clung to un- til the ninth inning outbreak. The only Red Sox run was the result of a terrific home run by Earl Webb high over the left center-fleld wall. Pischer lost his mastery over the Sox in the ninth inning after his mates had built up a five-run margin for him by scoring three times in their half of the ninth. When the first three Red Sox batters came through with hits, Walter Johnson promptly yanked | his young southpaw and substituted Irving Hadley. That was the end “i the Red Sox uprising. Myer Starts Things. Buddy Myer walked to start the first game. Rice and Manush flied to Webb, but Joe Cronin made the first of his four hits, a double off the left-fleld | bank, scoring Manush. There were two out in the third inning when Manush walked and scored a moment later ‘when Cronin made his gecond successive | double, high off the left-field wall. | ‘The Red Sox cut this two-run lead in ‘half when Webb hit his home run in| the fourth inning. Washington registered again in the seventh when Myer doubled and scored on Manush’s Texas League double m‘: left field The Nationals cinched the game with & 3-run drive on Brillheart in the ninth inning. With one out, Manush beat out & bunt and went to second on Cronin’s fourth hit of the game. Manush scored when West dropped a Texas leaguer just out of Rhyne's reach for a double. Kuhel inserted his first hit _of the game at this juncture, a double o right, scoring_Cronin and West Durham relieved Brillneart and forced Bluege to fly to Webb and Hargrave o ground out to Reeves In the Red Sox half Pickering singled 1o left, Reeves drew his third pass and Ruel singled to left, scoring Pickering Winsett batted for Durham and Hadley relieved Fischer. Winsett fanned. Rnyne filed to Rice and Sweeney grounded to Hadley Ed Morris and Firpo Marberry handed out goose eggs in the second game for four innings. The Natonals broke the ice in the fifth. Myer singled to left, went to secold on Harry Rice's sacrifice and scored on Manush's double to left. Crenin scored Manush w'th a single o right on the first pitch The Red Sox scored one run in the sixth after being held to one hit for the first, five innings. Morris went to sec- ond when Marberry threw his bunt into right field. He scored on Rhyne's single to center. Sweeney sacrificed and then Sam West cut off at least one run when he made a sensational one-hand running catch off W.nett, who batted for Van Camp. That was all until the ninth, when the Red Hose tied it up, and the tenth, when they won out GIRL BASKE'i'ERS_BATTLE Ohio and Canadian Teams to Play for World Championship.

Following their tilt with the world champlon Athletics this afternoon, they are not scheduled to appear here until May 24, when they will be hosts to the Red Sox, who have just licked them in two of three games played in Boston. There should be plenty of battling in the fray today. The Athletics now are one up on the Nationals in their clashes to date due to that disastrous serles in | Philadelphia not so long ago. Johnson's band took three out of four from the A's here in the season inaugural series, but dropped three in a row to the Mack horde in the Quaker City. A deal of left-handed pitching duel- ing is apt to be seen at the ball yard this afternoon. Lloyd Brown is the pick for the Washington mound job. More than likely that arch enemy of the Washington club, the southpawing Mose Grove, w4l ba on the slab for the Philadelphizn He was the choice for the gam> that was rvined out in Phila- delphza yesterday and the wily Connle M>ck is expected to shoot him in toda: Following today’s engagement, the Nationals will tour for a score of days.

HESE Eastern clubs of the American League which the fans have looked over here seem to be in pretty good trim physically, but it doesn’t seem the clubs gained much in a base ball way at the Southern training camps. Of the Eastern quartet the Red Sox, de- spite the fact that they were licked in two of three games played here, did th® best playing. Which s something to say of a club that has been a hapless tail-ender for some years. Hitting appears to b2 a spasmodic proposition with the Nationals, Athletics and Yankees. They have their days and again they don't. No one ever considered the Red Sox as hitters be- fore the season got under way, but they manage to get their wallop in more than occasionally. ‘The most glaring fault noticed in the Big Three of the East, however, is in the play afield. Washington, Philadel- phia and New York have been prone to err frequently and the faulty work of these clubs in handling the ball has hurt them no lttle sinc@itfe champion- ship season got under way.

The Indians were guilty of error after error in their ex- hibition games. They were o poor afield, in those engagements that Field Manager Peckinpaugh doubted they would make any headway at the out- set of the title campaign. Yet. since the start of the season, the Tribe has braced wonderfully, backing high class | | pitching with splendid support. The | Big Three of the East must get rid of its butter fingers if progress is to be made by it in the impending Westorn invasion. \l ’ND()UB!EDLY Carl Fischer, who started a game for the Natlonals yesterday for the first time this season, will be given the call often here- | after by Manager Walter Johnson. Although he was derricked in the ninth | | inning, the chesty left-hander, who sev- | i!n!l times had revealed real worth as| a relief hurler, apparently had his game well in hand after doing a good | bit of work on the hill for eight ses- sions. | "Fischer has a deal of speed and at | last has fair control. He always had | | the smoke on the ball, but when he was fetched from Newark last season |the southpaw was not so sure where | his fast ones were traveling. P'Luher‘ni greatest asset. though, is his sublime confidence. He has great faith in his ability to pitch and though some have | regarded him as being a year or so| away from big league stuff he does not | believe it. | Carl thinks he can pitch, in fact says he knows he can. And he has| delivered to date. Delivered to such arl| extent that Manager Johnson cannot | afford to overlook him when picking starting hurlers. | 5 | GAR WOOD SHIPS BOAT | Miss America IX Sent to Detroit as Record Queet Fails. MIAMI, Fla., May 2 (#).—The Miami Daily News today said the Miss America | IX, Gar Wood's record challenging | speed boat, was shipped to Detroit yes- terday. | ‘Wood has not returned from a fishing | trip off the Florida coast, started after he made five unsuccessful attempts last Monday to lower the world's motor boat speed record of 10349 miles an | hour held by Kaye Don of England. | Members of his household said he was not _expected to return before Mon- | day or Ve ‘ ON THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON OE JUDGE'S friends —and there are legions of them throughout base ball as well as in_Washington—are in- tensely gratified that his appendix affection was o promptly diagnosed and that the required emergency measures proved so eminently suc- cessful. Stricken on the ficld during Fri- day's game with the Red Sox at Boston and rushed to the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital for the op- eration, he now faces a tedious process of recuperation before he can resume his duties on the dia- mond. This enforced loafing, for a man of Judge's temperament and who is accustomed to the daily_stren: cus_endeavors entailed by his pro- fession will constitue as tough an ordeal for him as the actual op- eration itself, but his enforced ab- sence threatens to prove almost as tough on the Nationals and their followers who have been envision- ing & pennant for the Capital this year. OW 1long it- will be before Judge again is ready for effective service is problematical. There are on record instances of extremely rapid recoveries under similar cir- cumstances, that staged quite some few years ago by Ed Eynon, who attended to ail the detalls of Judge's first experience with a surgeon’s scalpel yesterday, being the most remarkable I know cf. The genial secretary of the Na- tionals, before he became associated with the club, underwent an ap- pendix operation, and exactly 11 days later entered and played through a golf tournament. _This was back in the days when Eynon found plenty of time to devote to the ancient Scottish pastime and was the king bee of linksmen in the vicinity of Washington. On the other hand Bump Had- ley, who had his appendix removed during Spring training_at Tampa camp three years ago, “despite the fact he was a strong, healthy young fellow, was incapacitated for ap- proximately six weeks, more time being required for recuperation be- cause of his arduous duties as a pitcher than would be the case were he an inflelder or outfielder. N the case of Judge, provided no comrlications arise, he should be * able to leave the hospital and come home in about 12 days. spend about a week getting rid of his “sea legs” and then undertake gradually in- creasing dosages of practicing so that at the end of another 10 days or so he ought to be able to play. All told, about four weeks will be required, if he makes the fine progress hoped for, before Joe again will be ready for effective perform- ance and it is just a month hence that the Nationals will inaugurate their first long home stand of the campaign. This means the club will have to get along without him, including the double-header at Boston yes- terday and subsequent meetings with the A’s, Yankees, Tigers, In- dians, Browns, White Sox and Yankees 2gain, for a total of at least 26 games, provided he is able to get back in the game on Memorial day. It is not merely Judge's superla- tive fielding and hard and timely hitting that will be missed mean- while, however, for the captain of the team is an important factor as a hustle inducer, as well as being a director of strategy and exerting a definitely beneficial steadying in- fluence on his mates. HE Nationals may be accounted lucky in having available for the first base berth so capable a performer 88 Joe Kuhel, recalled from a loan to Baltimore as soon as Judge was stricken. This burly youngster, ol from Kansas City of the American Association last July at an outiay totaling many thousands of dollars, is a flashy defensive man, being regarded by Judge himself as the most rromising first base prospect to join the club during his 16 years of serv- ice here, and has given indications of developing into a worthwhile batsman. Kuhel, who like Judge, is a left- hand hitter, in 18 games with the Griffmen last season connected for 18 hits, totaling 27 bases in 63 times at bat for an average of .286 and, played regularly now, may more closely approach the .326 for 126 games reccrded by Judge last sezson. One thing in Kuhel's favor is that immediately preceding his recall to the Nationals yesterday he had sterdy work for six days with the Baltimore club as understudy for Joe Hauser, the home run king of the International League, who has been out of the game with an in- Jjured leg. During that stretch, in ‘which the Orioles won four and lost two in competition with the Toronto and Rochester teams, Kuhel was at bat 27 times, his 8 hits, lncludka a homer and a pair of triples, giving him an average of .296 and driving in 8 tallles. If Kuhel can a ximate that pace until Judge is ready to re- sume the Nationals ought to con- tinue factors in the race, but the loss for at least a month of their veteran regular first baseman un- questionably deals a hard blow to their pennant aspirations. .

Eastern High won the open inter- scholastic track and fleld meet, with Central pushing it hard for first position, while Maryland de- feated West Virginia in base ball | and Penn State in lacrosse. | The victories that went to other | institutions were those of Navy over Maryland in the dual track " | meet and Hagerstown High in the events for county high schools. Eastern won the interscholastic meet, - but it had a difficult time doing it. The Light Blue and White was shoved to the limit by Central, while Tech and Episcopal were right in the run- ° ning, Eastern got 30 points, Central 24, Ezlwopnl 22 and Tech 18. Tech might have finished second it not been that Reichman in the thought he had finished as & winner : when he reached the end of the third - lap and ran off the track.

Navy gave Maryland s terrible trouncing in the track meet, as far as - points were concerned, but actually the competition in most of the events was close. Navy had a wide margin in the 880, the mile and two miles, but the other events were much more fought out than the results indicate. However, the Sailors were . Maryland won only two t - places, Ward taking the 100 yard dash and Fouts the high jump. Ward prob- ably would not have got his event had “ McKenzie, Navy's sprint star, not been = kept out of the race. The final result _ in points was 101 to 25. Hagerstown High School was high point scorer in the events for county high schools for the second consecutive year. Hyattsville High gave it the har run, scoring 9 points against Hagerstown's 14. Marlboro was third with 7 and Annapolis fourth with 5.

These two marks __ are the best that ever have been made for these events in their respctive classes on the Maryland track.
